Shawn, what is all this craziness with walgreens and the regulated display/sale of this particular  item. From what I can tell, he isn't that hard to find now.

Clint, it just seems to depend on where your Walgreens is. I think those closer to their warehouses or distribution centers are getting more in.

If you can believe it, while I was searching on my order online, I hit find in a store and found out there was a new store just built just two towns over from me that I didn't know about that had one in stock. I was podcasting, but my gals were kind enough to scoot up there and grab it for me. It was minty fresh.

And on those of us who made online orders, after going through a huge rigamaroll where they tried to cancel my online order, I found out from a senior level manager (whatever title that is) that the internet orders will be fulfilled, but not until November 15th when their run in the brick and mortar stores is supposedly over. I thought that kinda was not too cool either. I still left my order there, but it seems folks are better off to try and grab them in stores.

The website now does not let you add to cart (like it did yesterday when I posted on it again) and will only let you search for the closest store that might have it (they don't guarantee it). I got lucky yesterday. If I find more of course I will offer em up to the Yarders!

I've got at least 6 walgreens in my area that show "in stock".

So kinda like a post order rather than a preorder?
Huh, would it be too much to ask to think that the hasbro marketing team was attempting an alternate production/distribution tactic here?
Judging what and how much to send to the stores by what people preorder before they are available?

Yeah, I actually called the store and made sure it was there before I sent my gals to get it. I would recommend that too. Of course I know that experience will vary from store to store and whether or not they will agree to set it back for you, which they did for me.

Yeah, kinda silly if you ask me. I thought we would at least get these a few weeks after they showed up in stores as you know some will set em out early and some later, but even asking about my online order almost had em cancel it. I pitched a small fit real quick so I got transferred and then found out the info about the online orders. I didn't pitch a fit buck kept saying do  not cancel my order a few times and that it made no sense for them to let me order online if they weren't going to sell a few there at least and that Walgreens should honor what they say they are going to sell.

If anyone has a extra to spare, some help acquiring one would be greatly appreciated.  The scalpers in my area are all over this.

Supposedly about 5,000 of these or more are to hit Walgreens stores in November, right around the time the web order are hitting.

I don't have mine yet Clint. Just got the email that my order was shipped. Hopefully I get it one day this week.

I know when I called customer service to ask them what was up they tried to cancel my order, but I got a bit huffy and they stopped. That is when I found out they will ship Novemember 5th. Of course you now see how accurate that was too!

Well the box from Walgreens was in my mailbox today. They showed up shipped great. I would definitely order from walgreens.com again. I hope others get their white fetts.
